• Think long- and short-term to meet the constraints of a continuous release process while iterating toward a future vision.
• Contribute to our new design system and its processes, providing guidance on design best practices and accessibility requirements.
• Working together to coach, mentor, and grow newer designers.

• Solid understanding of HTML/CSS and Javascript.
• Deep respect for product design systems and brand design systems and the ability to work within them.

• You believe in outcomes over output and understand the the tactics required to differentiate between the two.
• You are a life-long learner. Finding and sharing new design tools and processes, new technical areas, and better ways to get things done.
